I created this packing list from years of travels around the States and abroad. As we all know we always forget at least one or two things in our suitcase which means we all have two or three of several items. So, made this list for the traveler who doesn’t want to forget anything for their trip. I bought a App from iTunes called aNote which I use for all my daily needs from my grocery list, to my bucket list and it even has my packing list for my vacations. Of course, no two people are the same, so consider this list a starting point. It has been designed to be useful for travelers of all types: male, female, young, old, short-term, long-term, etc.If you have any suggestions for items that should be included, contact us with your ideas and we will gladly review.

Below is my ‘basic packing list’, which will be at the heart of any ‘suggested packing list’ – it would form the guts of the thing if you like. These are the essentials NO traveller can do without!
